"Final rejection docs uploaded"....9/22/17
And then I asked "But it's still Patent Pending, right?"
And you said "Sure LOL" and provided a link.
Then, a month or so later (10/31), you told us something new:
"Divisional patent application, spun off the original application when a "process vs system" restriction was required by the USPTO examiner, received a Final rejection today with a 3 month response time."
The patent office in that Final Rejection Notice says that the applicant has 3 months to respond but if they respond in 2 months, then if the patent office doesn't provide their advisory prior to the expiration of the original 3 month period then the expiration doesn't occur until the advisory is provided, but no more than 6 months from the final rejection date. There doesn't appear to have been a response by Bordynuik (yet). The two month period described above expires at the end of this month, etc.
(These are your friends, not mine.)
But, in Alice's Restaurant fashion, that's not where this was supposed to go. Here's what I care about now...it's much easier to follow:
Bordynuik was a JBI employee at the time of the original application so IIRC it is automatically assigned to his employer.
This latest application was filed in November of 2016 when he was no longer in the company's employ, but it lists JBI as the Applicant Organization. It also shows the prior application status as "expired".
If the new application results in a granted patent will it CLEARLY be the IP of PTOI (IYHO, of course) and is it correct to say that this new application meets the definition of a new Patent Pending.
On behalf of all interested parties I thank you for your ongoing effort to document this exercise in futility.
Go Big Blue!
But can it core A apple?
Yes Ralph, of course it can core A apple.
